Martial Arts: The Era of True Qi

Books that are good but not popular share a common characteristic: they love to preach, and preach repeatedly. We're lectured in real life, and even reading a fantasy novel requires preaching? Why? Maybe you're right, writing it once or twice is enough; those who understand will understand, and those who don't won't. But this constant repetition—when will it end?

Seeing Aihara Mirai really stung me. The protagonist, who prides himself on being cold and selfish, completely changes when he's with Aihara Mirai. She's a complete stranger, yet he carries her through the ranks, asking for nothing in return—amazing! That's good enough for now. But later, when trouble arises, he's the first to help, even resolving her family's problems.

A must-read for readers who don't want any cheat codes! Those looking for mindless, lighthearted stories probably won't like this book. The protagonist has above-average talent, comes from an ordinary background, has average comprehension, and doesn't have any cheat codes. The protagonist will fail, will be inferior to others, and will become a background character.

He's talented, hardworking, and ruthless with himself. He knows how to assess situations; why shouldn't he succeed? This is a way to transcend class barriers through personal force. So-called political blockades can be broken by force. He assesses the situation and his experience from two lifetimes helps him get through the initial weak stage.

How can you be truly satisfied without any special advantages? Relying solely on yourself? You're not some reincarnated superhuman; you're not a super genius. The limited perspective and experience of an ordinary person from a previous life seem utterly useless. It's not like you've traveled to ancient times.

Without any system-like cheat codes, how does the protagonist rise to power? Can someone explain? What's the main source of power? Without those satisfying moments, it's hard to keep watching.

Regarding the recent storyline involving Aihara Mirai, we readers are... It's easy to guess (it's nothing more than charm, a special physique, and thus giving the protagonist an opportunity). But author, are you too confident in your writing skills? Your reputation? Especially your update frequency.

You can continue reading after skipping the "Aihara" part of the story. The protagonist's character is consistently well-developed, and his unconventional actions make for a very enjoyable read. I still suggest the author revise the "preachy" and "Aihara" elements in the early chapters when they have time; this should attract a wider readership. This book has the potential to become a classic; it shouldn't be this popular.

Such a good novel, and the author abandoned it? No way! ಥ_ಥ Honestly, it's comparable to Eagle's first two books.

The author overdid it, wanting to get full attendance bonuses but unable to write anything, constantly posting duplicate chapters, and now they've been banned.
